Chapter 3197 - Unbelievable Strength!

Chapter 3197 - Unbelievable Strength!

After purchasing some of the most basic components in bulk, which was enough for him to produce a dozen or so detectaphones, trackers, and alarms, Li Yao went to the construction material hardware market not far away.

Although he had told Zhang Daniu that he was going to buy weapons, he did not intend to buy any controlled knives or guns.

Firstly, he did not have the relevant channels to find the controlled knives or guns. Although it was not difficult for him to find the so-called 'underground black market' with his current capability and computational ability, how could he solve the problem of transportation and usage?

In most of the countries in the world, firearms were still very sensitive. They would cause endless trouble both in possession and in use.

The mysterious 'Ark Foundation' and the even more mysterious 'Apocalyptic Organization' both involved enormous resources and forces. Even if Li Yao armed himself to the teeth and carried three to five heavy cannons, he would still be no match for them.

Guns were absolutely useless against superpowered people.

On the other hand, as long as he could further stimulate the "cultivation force" inside his body, even if it was an ordinary tool that wouldn't raise any suspicion, it would still be able to display a destructive power even greater than a bullet.

Li Yao bought a batch of nails of different lengths and sizes from the construction material market. They were as heavy as bullets.

Then, he bought an imported special toolbox with screwdrivers and other tools. With his amazing strength, they were as good as military daggers.

Most importantly, these things were not afraid of inspection at all. Although they might not be able to send him to a train or a plane, he could store them in the trunk of the car in case he ran into a checkpoint.

After thinking for a bit, Li Yao bought a few sets of hard work clothes, labor gloves, and rubber boots for himself and Zhang Daniu. In the books, most of the techniques were released in the form of 'fire balls' or 'electric arcs'. The heat-proof clothes, insulated clothes, and rubber boots could reduce the damage of the techniques to the minimum.

Then, Li Yao bought a few electrician vests, the kind with a lot of pockets, as well as a few very solid leather belts that could hang screwdrivers of various sizes and leather bags filled with nails. The pockets all over his body could also store a lot of high-energy food, which would help him recover during the gaps of combat and ensure his continuous combat ability.

In the end, Li Yao bought two extremely large canvas bags, stuffed everything inside, and left the construction material hardware market. Following the introduction of a famous sports forum, he went to a very famous outdoor sports club in Jiangnan City and purchased a large batch of energy bars and energy chews.

Energy bars were compressed from various nuts, chocolate, and high-energy materials. The heat contained in the same volume was several times more abundant than that of military compressed biscuits. Energy chews were also essential tonics for high-energy sports such as marathons and triathlons. A small stick was enough to keep an athlete burning for half an hour to an hour under extreme fatigue. Although it was expensive, it was Li Yao's best choice when he didn't have the "nutrition drugs and strengthening drugs" from .

The energy bars and the energy chews alone had cost him tens of thousands of dollars. Li Yao did not even bat an eye. To save the planet, he should spend what he needed. 'Petty' was never in his dictionary.

After purchasing everything, Li Yao reversed three times and went to an industrial area in the northern suburbs of Jiangnan City.

It used to be a very famous heavy industry district in Jiangnan City. There was a large-scale steel smelting base there. However, with the establishment of the development concept of "financial establishment city, real estate strength city", the northern suburbs industrial zone had declined. Right now, heavy industry companies such as steel-making factories and affiliated processing factories had all moved and closed down. All that was left was an empty factory and a labyrinth of intricate pipes waiting to be demolished and auctioned.

Li Yao had seen this place on the news, and it had left a deep impression on him.

It was the most suitable place for his training.

Although the abandoned steel factory was patrolled by a few old guards and security guards, the vast factory district was like a small town and simply couldn't be managed. In this day and age, scrap iron and copper weren't worth much. Few people came here to steal things, so they simply gathered in the reception room to play cards. Li Yao was like a transparent leaf as he silently floated into the abandoned steel factory. No one noticed him.

Deep inside the steel factory, Li Yao found an area where tubes and blast furnaces were everywhere. He extended his senses to the maximum and made sure that nobody was following or spying on him. Then, he put on rubber boots, an insulated suit, and an electrician's vest, filling his pockets with iron nails and energy gel.

At first, he jumped up and down on the ground, sensing the effects of the heavy load on his body. After warming up, he squatted slightly and sprinted a few steps forward. With a burst of strength in his legs, the cells inside his body exploded with "pa pa pa pa pa" sounds. His entire body soared into the air and actually rushed towards a tube that was 5-6 meters in the air.

Seeing that he was only half a meter away from the tube and that his momentum had run out and that he was about to fall, Li Yao waved his right arm without any hesitation and caught a hat with his index finger.

Huchi. Huchi. Huchi…

Li Yao swayed in the air as he breathed in large mouthfuls of the air filled with the smell of rust. The familiar memories spread out like an intense ink. The smell reminded him of the magical equipment graveyard a long time ago. It was the same pungent smell of rust from the depths of the garbage heap.

"This is me."

Li Yao mumbled to himself, "This is the real me!"

As far as his eyes could see, his eyes seemed to have turned into X-ray machines. Everything within his sight became clear and transparent. The entire abandoned steel factory had turned into a 3D map. He could easily distinguish the most vulnerable points and the tubes that were suitable for crawling.

Moreover, at the periphery of the abandoned steel factory, the laughter of the security guards and the gatekeepers, as well as the footsteps and splashing sounds of a security guard peeing, could be heard clearly.

With a vague smile on his face, inexplicable strength surged out of the bulging veins all over Li Yao's body and transmitted to his index finger that was supporting his body.

He curled his index finger and stretched out his arm. He was blown more than ten meters away and jumped to another tube.

"How relaxing! It's even more natural than walking and running!"

Li Yao was jumping up and down between the tubes, the steel structure, and the blast furnace like a giant monkey. He was jumping up and down, jumping up and down, and performing all kinds of thrilling movements that even extreme athletes would not be able to do. Sometimes, he crossed a distance of thirty to fifty meters and landed lightly on the ground from the blast furnace. Other times, he relied on the strength of one or two fingers to swing himself through extremely dangerous angles. He even relied on the strength of his toes to hang himself in midair.

Finally, he crossed his arms and touched his leather belt. Two screwdrivers appeared between his fingers.

Hiu! Hiu Hiu Hiu Hiu!

The screwdriver tore through the air like a real military dagger, leaving gray blurred shadows.

In the beginning, Li Yao's movements were clumsy, as if he had never learned close combat before. When he waved his saber, it was redundant and cumbersome. He didn't even know how to control his strength. His body swayed violently, and he almost fell off the tube several times.

Very soon, he tried to reduce the unnecessary movements and strength while he practiced and recalled. Like a viper that was slowly waking up from hibernation, he resumed his deadly attack.

Hiss! Hiss hiss hiss!

Vipers were hissing between his fingers, which was a sign that the screwdriver was about to break the sonic barrier.

Li Yao felt that he could still increase his speed by 30%, but there was no need to try it here. It was not easy for him to choose a suitable training ground. It would be terrible if the security guards were summoned.

Then, it was the practice of absolute strength and speed as well as remote weapons.

Li Yao found an abandoned factory and happened to find a bundle of steel bars that had not been moved away yet.

The steel bars that had not been processed yet might not be as tough and durable as the standard ones, but they were good enough to test his strength.

Li Yao bent one, two, and three iron bars easily. Then he bent four, five, and six iron bars that were tied together.

It was not until he tied up the iron bars that were as thick as nine fingers that he reached the limit of his strength. His arms seemed to have been corroded by venom, and his shoulder blades seemed to have been burnt and could not be bent or broken. The physical strength that he had just gathered was running out, too.

That was good.

Li Yao took out the energy bars and the energy gel and started testing his recovery speed. He calculated the rhythm of his strength that he should maintain during the battle and the likelihood that his combat ability would rise again.

"That's the limit of my current strength. There's no need to pursue the matter further. The strength of an individual is limited. It's impossible for me to fight them recklessly.

Li Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the factory, which was more than twenty meters tall. Without any warning, he accelerated, sprinted, and jumped, leaving insignificant traces on the walls and the steel beams above his head.

"What an inhuman motor force. If I go all out, I can even dodge bullets."

Li Yao hung upside down on the steel beam and took out three nails of different lengths from his belt.

He was not in a hurry to fire it. Instead, he held the nail in his palm and placed it horizontally and vertically on his fingertip. He sensed the weight, center of gravity, material, and shape of the nail and calculated the rotation, offset, and fall of the nail when it was breaking the air, as well as the perfect mode of movement of every muscle fiber and every bone in his arm.

Although he hadn't made a move yet, he had thrown the nail in his brain thirty to fifty times, three hundred to five hundred times, three to five thousand times, calculated and corrected time and time again. Countless data were crashing inside his brain cells.

"Found it."

Li Yao's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, emitting brightness that was sharper than nails. His arm was like a weird boa that had just molted and was more flexible and stronger than before. "This is the perfect plan!"
